Does anyone have a source other than AutoAtlanta? It seems the price of a new top cover is a little extreme.

I think your real question is: "where can I find a cheap bumper top?" The answer is nowhere, at least if you want it new. I don't know about AA, but it is more than $200 at Pelican.
I was thinking that some place could make reproductions in fiberglass for a more reasonable price. Maybe some day. Andrew |

I got a rear one made by an aftermarket company. It was polypropolene instead of hard rubber. Hard to tell the difference. The front one was rubber. Performance Products.

A year ago GPR had a much better price than that. Not sure about now, but worth a call.

I picked up a new one from GPR this summer, it was 189 I think, it's a perfect fit, I'm not sure if it was OEM or not, but the constrution, look and feel is identical to the origional part.
